Tehama County Museum to launch, 'Museum in a Suitcase'

The Tehama County Museum is launching its new program,? Museum in a Suitcase - 2013,? designed to bring the Museum into the classrooms of Tehama County Schools.

The program will be conducted by TCM board member April Pryor, a retired teacher with a love of education, kids and history.

?This is a pilot program,? said Pryor, ?and I am excited to be involved with the Museum in the education component of its mission. We hope to generate interest among the youth about the history of Tehama County, in the Tehama County Museum, and in all of the museums of Tehama County through this program.

You know, we have at least nine museums in this county just waiting to share information about our community and most charge no admission (although donations are appreciated).?

The Tehama County Museum is putting out the call to all educators ? we invite you to incorporate a visit from the Museum to talk about the exhibits and the history of the county.

For more information about scheduling a ?Suitcase? event, contact the TCM at 384-2595, or send an e-mail to Ms. Pryor at tcmuse@tehama.net.
